jeanette, I have to agree with you. I think that probably Muffy intended this thread exactly how she worded it but she was onto a loser from the start. Besides the fact that we know there are opposing 'teams' on the site who should no doubt avoid each others threads, a thread such as this causes problems for those who are not mentioned and who are sensitive about it. I, from experience, knew I would not see my name here, I don't lay claim to special friends and try to get along with everyone. The fact that I am not named bothers me not at all. It was also obvious that the thread would end up being a vehicle for little 'digs' by people against those who they don't consider their friends and lots of support for those that they do. Some people have responded as requested and it is nice to see those who are appreciated. There are many lovely people on here, I would not attempt to name those I particularly like or don't like. As in life I respond to some and not to others and some I completely avoid. I have been away for two weeks and it is sad to learn that the board still has problems, but I suppose that is life. Lesley, I think the Caz you mean is the one from Derbyshire, used to be Caz me duck I think. She was on here a few weeks back. Ann Glos |

Hi Ann Are you the lady that is involved in GReaders? Yes I like you.You're one of my favourites lol. I purposely didn't mention who I considered people to be friendly with on here, there are so many people that I chat to, I would be bound to leave someone out and offend them. Also, you could mention someone that doesn't consider you as a friend lol. There are people that I like chatting to the most but it is only because I haven't got to know the others as much yet. Oooh just spotted your note about Caz. Yes Caz me duck- that sounds familar. She probably wouldn't remember me but I recognise her as someone that used to post. xx Lesley |

lesley, yes that is me (or should I say I?) I am involved with Greaders. Although not so far this month as I haven't yet got the books. Thanks you for your kind words. I wasn't fishing for compliments though. Ann Glos |

My thoughts for Jean whose dear friend has cancer, for Jean Bannaszak whose Mum died suddenly this week, for Joanie who buried her dad, for Jilly with 3 kids and cancer, for Trifley fighting cancer, for Calamity Jane fighting to live, for Rosi Glow who has lost too many people this year, for fluffy Duck who has lost her husband, need I go on? |

Lemon has got it bang on. That is exactly the kind of posting I was hoping for when I posted this thread. I can't stress enough it was supposed to be a positive and nice thread. I can see that some want this to be deleted and had it not spilled onto other threads with people making accusations about my motives etc I would have done just that. As it is I will let it stand so that my words can be seen by anyone reading the other threads. I do apologise for that. Report to GR by all means and if they say it needs to go I am sure they will pull it. Thanks to everyone who entered into this in the manner in which it was intended. xx |

Most of the GR posters can be nice a lot of the time. Everyone has an off day sometimes. I have a 'unusual' sense of humour and never intentially aim to hurt. But getting back to the gist of this thread the following have all made me smile, laugh, feel good, (use any expression): Paul the Dumpling, Buttercup Fields, Strump, Ladylol Puss, Our Em, The Baroness Hayley WC, and others whose names I can't recall (apologies). Oh should mention Muffy as it's her thread. T.O.R. ;~)) |

Awww thanks Glenys :-) (and Julie from last night, I saw that too) I'd love to mention by name all the lovely people on here who I get along with, but I am sure I will miss someone out and upset them. There is already one person who took it personally because she wasn't mentioned, I dont want to be responsible for another. They already know who they are anyway lol Lems hun, you got it spot on! xx |

Awww thanks TOR. :-) Muffy, I wouldn't worry too much, some people are determind to twist every word that comes out of your... fingers. lol Why do some people think that EVERYTHING has a hidden meaning? Too much time on their hands I think. |
